Police on Tuesday conducted raids at several places in Delhi and Haryana to track down an undertrial who had escaped from police custody while being taken to neighbouring Sonepat for a court hearing.
Deepak Dabas, an accused in several cases, including murder and lodged in Tihar Jail, was on Monday being taken to Sonepat in a mini-truck when he escaped, following which two policemen have been suspended, police said.
Local police have been deployed at Dabas’s village, Majra Dabas, a few kilometers away from the market in Bawana, where he jumped from a mini truck and ran away, giving the police team a slip, a senior police official said.
Meanwhile, special teams are conducting raids at his potential whereabouts in Delhi and Haryana.
